Answer:

9.4 m/s

Explanation:

According to the work-energy theorem, the work done by external forces on a system is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the system.

Therefore we can write:

W=K_f -K_i

where in this case:

W = -36,733 J is the work done by the parachute (negative because it is opposite to the motion)

K_i = 66,120 J is the initial kinetic energy of the car

K_f is the final kinetic energy

Solving,

K_f = K_i + W=66,120+(-36,733)=29387 J

The final kinetic energy of the car can be written as

K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 661 kg is its mass

v is its final speed

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(29,387)}{661}}=9.4 m/s

You have a 1.55 kg block of silver at room temperature of 20 °C. Silver melts at 962°C. How much heat energy would be needed to
notsponge [240]
Specific heat capacity= heat energy/mass×temperature rise

962°C - 20°C = 942K

Heat energy (Eh) = 239 × 1.55 × 942
Eh= 348963.9J

A 49 N coconut is in a 15 m tree. What is te potential energy of the coconut?
eduard

Answer:

735 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy is simply defined as the product of weight of the object and height to which the object is raised. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Potential energy = weight × height

With the above formula, we can obtain the potential energy of the coconut as follow:

Weight (W) = 49 N

Height (h) = 15 m

Potential energy =?

Potential energy = weight × height

Potential energy = 49 × 15

Potential energy = 735 J

Thus, the potential energy of the coconut is 735 J
